“Jessie did an amazing job with our 2 cats! She gave super thorough updates everyday with lots of pictures. She was very communicative and gave us peace of mind while we were away for a week. She even got our shy kitty to warm up to her within only a couple days, which was amazing to see him getting play time when he usually hides away with most sitters. We will definitely be asking her to cat sit again!!”

She was very responsive and communicative the whole time we were away and she added on a few extra visits at the last minute because we realized our cat needed a little more attention.

We highly recommend Rachel and hope to work with her again the next time we travel!”
